Just a reminder that I have not sent this notice of violation to any of the other non-responders on our list. Respectfully, Andy Peters City of Molalla Public Works Operations Supervisor (503) 829-6855 x220 Cell: 503-793-0507 117 N Molalla Ave Molalla, OR 97038 From: Gerald Fisher <gfisher@cityofmolalla.com> Sent: Monday, June 29, 2020 11:22 AM To: Amy Lindgren <alindgren@molallapolice.com>; Andy Peters <apeters@cityofmolalla.com> Cc: Spencer Parsons <spencer@gov-law.com>; Dan Huff <dhuff@cityofmolalla.com>; Dan Zinder <dzinder@cityofmolalla.com> Subject: RE: CHTC (Columbia Hemp Trading Company) 410 Industrial Way, Molalla Thanks Amy. Andy – Please prepare a letter in accordance with our pretreatment code to go out to CHTC for failing to submit the required categorical user survey. J. Special Agreements Not Restricted. 2. When requested, an industrial user must submit information on a survey form prepared by the Director of Public Works before commencing discharge into the City wastewater system, identifying the nature and characteristics of the user’s wastewater. The Director may periodically require industrial users to update the survey. Failure to complete this survey within the time set by the Director is grounds for terminating service to the industrial user. Z. Notification of Violation. Whenever any industrial user has violated or is violating this chapter, a wastewater permit or order issued hereunder, or any pretreatment standard or pretreatment requirement, the Director may issue a written notice of violation. Within 10 business days of the receipt of this notice, the industrial user shall submit an explanation of the violation and a detailed plan for the satisfactory correction of the violation and the prevention of future violation. Submission of this plan does not relieve the user of liability for any violations occurring before or after receipt of the notice of violation. Nothing in this section shall limit the City authority to take emergency action without first issuing a notice of violation. We will send two copies of the letter, one certified and one not certified, will start the clock once we get the certified tag back but no later than 10 business days after we mail the letters. Thanks.
